Sales Tax Package Awaits Decision Of Voters Tuesday
(Continued from page 1)
ing whool programs.
4. Specialized tax relief Is
provided to the elderly and low
Income personsthe two groups
that many feci are carrying a
disproportionate load that often
forces them to vote against
school tax measures.
5. The state tax base for the
support of public services would
be broadened.
Disadvantages that it cites:
1. There is no new monev for
schools In the package. All pro
ceeds of the sales tax would
go to reducing property taxes,
not to Increasing revenues for
elementary and secondary
schools.
2. The 5 per year increase
allowable without a vote Is not
sufficient to cover inflation,
selary increases, and other in
creases In costs.
3. The sales tax represents the
last major source of tax reve
nue. Using It for property tax
relief, as this measure will do,
will eventually force local gov
ernments to turn once more to
property taxes for revenues
needed in the future.
Others Take Positions
Other groups also have ar
gued the pros and cons from
other points of view such as
business from the standpoint of
the cost of collection of the tax,
which Is at least partially off
set by a 1 reimbursement to
the retailer for his collection
costs.
Opponents believe the sales
tax to be discriminatory in that
those with large families, which
require a sizable quantity of
consumer goods, will pay more
sales tax than smaller families I
or single persons with less
needs, even though the large
family may have considerably
leas income in proportion.
Oregon cities and towns close
to the boundaries of adjacent
states are generally strongly op
posed to the sales tax package
because they gain considerable
revenue from shoppers in the
other states who come across the
line to trade and avoid the sales
taxes they face at home.
Voted Down to Dot
The sales tax has been ar
gued for years in Oregon but
in the past voters have turned
It down on every try on the bal
lot. However, proponents point
out that it has not been placed
uerore voters lor manv vears
and that times now are differ
ent with a much greater bur
den on property.
What the voter turnout will
be Is hard to determine. While
there is great interest In the
tax situation, there Is always
considerable voter lethargy
when only one issue Is present
ed. The public meeting held Fri
day with Marion D. Thomas,
public policy education special
ist, here to explain the matter,
under sponsorship of the Farm
Bureau, brought a very sparse
turnout, despite the sponsors ef
forts to publicize the meeting
and draw a crowd. Whether this
indicates a lack of interest or
whether It indicates that the
voters' minds are made up will
be determined as of June 3.
